Tamlin Vetter

Tamlin Vetter is a dance/theatre artist whose work centres love. Using her body, Vetter creates a dreamy landscape informed by her life as a queer woman. Growing up in the world of competitive dance has trained her to get high off exhaustion. She works with endurance and repetitive movement, finding ways to simultaneously love and exploit herself. Her process begins with a vocabulary of gestures based on words or phrases connected to the themes being explored. By night, she is a poet, so that by day she may be a dancer.

She is an emerging artist, currently finishing her BFA in theatre performance at Simon Fraser University. As an artist, she enjoys finding a balance between physical embodiment and intellectual practice. She has a deep affection for all things rock and roll, camp, and glam. 

Vetter was born and raised in Salmon Arm, B.C. on traditional and unceded Secwepemc territory. She currently lives, works, dances, and loves on the land of the Coast Salish peoples, the ancestral territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, Tseil-Waututh, Qayqayt, Stól:ö, Kwikwetlem, Stz’uminus.
